I would think that the Rem STS's might expand and contract more than any of the aluminum battery cups. So they might be easier to get out after shooting.
Brief summary= Don't drill out/enlarge the NFPJ to .038 and use heavy loads listed below
Well the STS's blew their tops
, and would not eject. had to disassemble the bolt to get them out.(They worked fine before, but ejected very sticky/hard)
The CCI standard primers held together, but would not eject without bolt dis-assembly. They got too FAT
The Winchesters looked great, but would not eject with-out really shaking/rattling the bolt. They also got a little fatter. (much worse than before plug modification)
Chrony stats: Cloudy/78 degrees
120gV=86.4gW BH209. pushing 200g ShockWaves, in MMP Cream/Tan Sabots. Chrony at 10feet from muzzle.
Winchester= 2393fps
(With Harvester smooth Blue Sabot=2389fps)
(with Green supplied sabots=2380fps)
STS= 2390fps
CCI= 2380fps
Also launched some 175g XTP type bullets in the MMP Cream/Tan sabots with the same 120gV/86.4gW charge BH209, Winchester primers=2460fps
